Detailed information

Product detailed description

Author: Michaela Kukovičová

Some people walk down their street with their noses buried in the sidewalk or their phones, others look up at the sky or hurry too much. Few truly know how to look around. But Mrs. Kuko has her eyes wide open and misses nothing. She loves shop windows – these windows into the world of big and small shops, stores, and businesses where life happens – and she never tires of watching. In the window, on the sidewalk in front, and inside behind it, there is always something new—or old—that people have missed. Some shop windows and stores don’t change and gather dust, while others frequently show the owner cleaning with a rag and decorating anew. There are windows and shops that invite you inside and make you stop every time. Some are funny, some boring, just like their owners. This book presents 24 large illustrated plates by the leading lady of Czech illustration, where you will find everything you’ve overlooked on your own street!

Baobab Bookshop in Tábor

Baobab is a small family-run publishing house founded at the turn of the millennium in Prague’s Vinohrady district by Juraj Horváth and Tereza Horváthová. What began as a passion for artist’s books and bibliophile editions has grown into one of the leading Czech publishers of illustrated books for children.

The name refers to the baobab tree – a symbol of resilience, creativity, and community. Like the tree, their publishing work provides shelter for stories and connects generations through imagination and craftsmanship.

Baobab focuses on contemporary illustrated books, collaborating with prominent illustrators, writers, and designers. Their books balance poetic storytelling, visual inventiveness, and educational value while maintaining a distinctive artistic voice.

Beyond publishing, Baobab organizes cultural events and exhibitions, such as the Baobabí léto and Tabook festivals, and runs bookshops and galleries in Prague and Tábor. They foster a creative community around illustration, literature, and independent publishing.

In 2011, Baobab founded the Miroslav Šašek Foundation, reviving his legendary This is... travel series and supporting illustrators through annual grants and residencies. The publishing house continues to bridge heritage, education, and contemporary visual storytelling.
